if all the rich assholes leave i promise to return to California and live my best life as a guy who sits on the beach outside of Eureka and drinks 22 oz coronas
i only left california due to a mix of shitty overbearing government, climate change and gun laws. i still consider it the very best state. the competition isn't particularly close.
like seriously, try to find a single motherfucking place on this globe that's prettier than Arcata. i fucking dare you.
the absolute worst thing about california is the rich people, who infect the politics and own the best parts of the coast.
the best thing about Oregon is that every single inch of coastline is property of the people who live here.

A fascinating breakdown of how @dannoyes got played by a fascist. He did what appears to be zero work to back up his source's claims or investigate that person's background.
When @jason_a_w and I reported on leaked chats from Patriot Coalition, we didn't just take an activist's word for it. We got access to the live chat room and verified that our info was legit in real time.
We cross referenced claims made by right wing vigilantes with OS evidence.
By the time we wrote the article linked below, we knew that not only were these far right militia folks making violent threats, they had carried out real world violence on several occasions. We identified many of them before publication.
the thing that is actually incredible about the space race and both the Russian and U.S. space programs is how FEW people died. I don't expect the same from corporate run, exploitation driven space races.
i've been watching 'for all mankind' lately, an alt-history about the USSR reaching the moon first. They have the first cosmonaut give a propagandistic speech about marxist-leninist civilization. and tbh, I don't believe that would've happened.
the U.S. was drowning in propaganda just like the USSR, and the stakes were high. But Neil Armstrong didn't waste that moment on politics or propaganda. I don't think any person capable of being first on the moon would've let that happen.
hi does anyone in Oregon know where I could get horse meat? Ideally an entire horse.
I have a recipe I need to try once it is eel season again
since i was a young man I have dreamt of an Eel Horse: an entire horse carcass stuffed with eels, seasoned, wrapped and buried in a pit fire and cooked until crispy.
as far as I know no one has ever made this and I aim to be first
i haven't entirely ironed out the spices but I think a lot of truffle salt on the eels and saffron / chili powder for the horse
i have had hundreds of interactions with the police over my life. I have never been arrested. I have never once felt safer as a result of their presence in a situation.
i have never been arrested for the same reason I have never been seriously injured by an angry dog. The same tactics work on both. Your best best bet for safety with with cops is to treat them like violent and unpredictable animals.
this all of course presumes you are white. I would not attempt to give anyone else advice on dealing with the cops.
